We Regret To Inform You...

"We regret to inform you..." Five words that academics read a lot. But no matter how many times you see it, it still hurts. On this episode, Dr. Ethel Tungohan is joined by Academic Aunties producer, Dr. Nisha Nath to talk about grant rejections, the feelings of sadness and disappointment that accompany rejection, and why often these things have nothing to do with merit. -- Tweet from Dr. Ethel Tungohan on May 8, 2023: "A few PhDs are writing me sadly because they didn't get the SSHRC scholarship. A reminder to everyone: not getting it DOESN'T mean that you're not qualified or that your project lacks merit. The allocation of awards depends a lot on WHO is sitting on the committee." https://twitter.com/tungohan/status/1655626889887723532 -- Shout out to podcast Who do we think we are? by Dr. Michaela Benson -- Thanks for listening!

Grab some hooch and join them, but know that “this ain’t no fancy, academic, check your references, kinda deal.

The Aunties have a voice and are not fearful of being heard. Join them as they discuss topical news and politics, comment on popular culture, and give advice all from an informed (mature) Black woman's perspective.
